Economic growth is highly dependent on technological progress and
innovation, yet the sources from which these innovations originate
are still largely misunderstood and untapped. Recent research has
demonstrated that users, rather than manufacturers, are often a
critical source of innovation in numerous fields from extreme
sports to medical devices to software. This book systematically
identifies the most important barriers to user-innovation and
critically evaluates the democratization of innovation argument by
critically assessing the main legal, economic, technological, and
societal barriers to user-innovation for the first time and
proposing alternative possibilities. Through original research the
author reveals the dynamics of user-innovation and offers
strategies for minimizing those factors that inhibit and stifle the
spread of this phenomenon. From this analysis it becomes clear that
user-innovation has become more difficult over time and that the
problem is now of how manufacturers can enable users to overcome
the discussed barriers and simultaneously benefit from such
consumer-driven activities. Arguing that licenses are not just an
important technology commercialization instrument but are tools
critical to generating innovations, the author explains how
licenses can in certain situations be employed to help users
overcome some of the barriers to user-innovation. User-Innovation:
Barriers to Democratization and IP Licensing is a practical
guidebook as well as a startlingly original work of scholarship
that will be essential reading for years to come.
